Where can we go for the truth anymore?

In this messed up, mixed up world, the formerly respected Fourth Estate has devolved into a collection of flat-out liars, brain-dead ideologues, and unmitigated ignoramuses.  Turn on any of the mainstream media channels or go to any one of hundreds of online outlets, and you’ll be swamped in effluent.

The horrific, murderous tragedy in Waukesha, Wisconsin, in which a man deliberately and determinedly drove his SUV at a high rate of speed through a parade last week, is being called a “parade crash” by the most liberal media outlets.

According to 95% of the media talking heads and their cohorts, Kyle Rittenhouse is a “murdering white supremacist.”  Laughably, Snopes calls the three convicted felons who attacked Rittenhouse — one a domestic abuser and rapist, another a pedophile, and the third a burglar — “victims.”  Snopes goes farther, saying those three felons were there to “peacefully protest.”  Never mind the fires, the looting, and the property destruction.  None of this was discussed in the vast majority of the media during Rittenhouse’s trial or after his acquittal.

Now we have a new variant of COVID-19, which the physician who first encountered and reported it says is “mild.”  In a report in the Telegraph, Dr. Angelique Coetzee, a general practitioner for thirty-three years who also chairs the South African Medical Association, says, “Their symptoms were so different and so mild from those I had treated before.”

Mild illness.  Zero hospitalizations.  No deaths.  Yet with this report, we have yet another round of wholesale fear-mongering from the press and governments.
